= suitable, = unsuitable

10

HINTS AND TIPS• Cut a small piece off the larger end of your produce to create a flat, even surface to

attach the food pusher to.

• Trim long/thick ingredients so that they will fit the feed chute without jamming.

• Fresh, firm fruits and vegetables produce the best results.

• Cover and refirigerate any processed ingredients you are not immediately using.

• Some ingredients will discolour quickly so it’s best to process these ingredients last.

• Processed apples, pears, etc. can be mixed with a little lemon juice to help prevent browning.

• To cut spirals to a shorter length, lift the pusher up slightly away from the blade and then push it back in to stop and restart the spiralizing action.

• Always remove seeds, core and pits before spiralizing.

• When spiralizing produce with high water content, like cucumbers, squeeze water out of noodles with a tea towel.

• Peeling is not necessary on all fruits and vegetables, only for those with tough exteriors.

CARE AND MAINTENANCESwitch off (O) and unplug before cleaning.

WARNING: Blades are very sharp. Handle with extreme care.

1. Wash the removable parts in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry.

2. You may wash the blades, container, feed chute and pusher in a dishwasher (top rack only). The harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect the surface finishes. The damage should be cosmetic only, and should not affect the operation of the appliance.

3. Wipe the outside surfaces of the appliance with a clean damp cloth.

11

STORING

Arrange your spiralizer as follows so that it takes up the minimum of storage space.

1. Stack three blades inside the container and one into the unit. Then put the container under the opening of the motor unit.

2. Turn the feed chute upside down and insert it into the motor unit opening

3. Put the pusher into the feed chute.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Spiralizer doesn’t turn on

• Make sure the feed chute is properly aligned and locked in place.

• Check to make sure the spiralizer is plugged in.• If you have a circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit is

closed.• Unplug the spiralizer and plug it back into the outlet.

Spiralizer not work-ing properly/blade stops

• The blade is most likely clogged. Turn spiralizer off, remove blade and clean, replace blade in base and continue spiralizing.

• Make sure the ingredients are suitable for spiralizing.

Feed Chute won’t lock in place

• Make sure the blade is installed correctly.• Make sure there is no food or other object blocking the

interlock system.
